“ANZ have shown absolute contempt for basic standards and for the people they’re supposed to serve,” Greens Economic Justice Spokesperson Senator Nick McKim said. “They break the law. They negotiate a fine.
And then they just pay it out of their obscene profits. All while sacking thousands of staff and showering their executives in bonuses.” “ANZ charged fees to thousands of dead customers, stonewalled grieving families, lied about savings rates, and ripped tens of thousands of people off.” “This is just standard operating procedure for corporate Australia. Time after time we see big corporations breaking the law and treating their customers with contempt, and when they get caught they get a slap on the wrist.” “The banking Royal Commission demanded cultural changes in Australia’s big banks, but customers keep on getting screwed.” “This is taking the piss.
Ordinary people get punished for the smallest mistakes, while the big end of town get a slap on the wrist and a wink.” “Labor and the Liberals are far too close to the banks to hold them to account.” “The Greens are fighting for tougher penalties, stronger regulators, and to make sure these corporate crooks don’t get to keep treating our economy like their personal casino.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
